The safety switch market is expected to grow from USD 1.24 Billion in 2018 to USD 1.55 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.5% between 2018 and 2023. The growth of this market is fueled by the growing adoption of automation in hazardous industrial areas, increasing government intervention for equipment and personnel safety in industries, and rising demand for non-contact door switches to improve the stability of doors and guards. Developments in market ecosystem through organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as product developments, merger and acquisition, partnerships, collaborations, and agreements further drive the growth of this market.
Among different type of products, the market for non-contact safety switch is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than contact safety switch between 2018 and 2023. Although contact safety switches are predominantly used in every industry, awareness regarding the benefits of non-contact safety switches, such as aligned measurement of guards and multiple door switching error identification, is one of the most significant factors projected to drive the growth of the non-contact safety switch market.
The safety switch market for fire & gas monitoring systems is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2018 and 2023. The growth of market for fire & gas monitoring systems can be attributed to the increasing deployment of fire & gas monitoring solution at hazardous locations to avoid fire casualties and prevent gas leakages or explosions. With the expansion of process industries, such as oil & gas, pharmaceutical, chemical, food & beverage, and energy & power, the need for safety and security of equipment and personnel is growing.
Among various industry verticals, oil & gas held the largest share of the overall safety switch market in 2017. Environmental hazards in the oil & gas industry, such as oil spills, natural gas leaks, and discharge of toxic gases have propelled the demand for safety equipment. Thus, various safety systems, such as emergency shutdown systems, fire & gas monitoring systems, high integrity pressure protection systems, and burner management systems are being increasingly deployed in the oil & gas industry, boosting the use of safety solutions, such as safety sensors, safety switches, actuators, safety valves, and safety relays in this industry.
Asia Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of the safety switch market during the forecast period. The demand for safety switches in the region is increasing due to the implementation of safety systems in process industries. Companies operating in this region are focused toward occupational safety and automation. Additionally, the stringent safety regulations in the region have propelled the installation of safety systems in hazardous environments.
The key restraining factor for the growth of the safety switch market is the high investment required for automation implementation and maintenance of equipment in hazardous environments. The consumers of safety switch are the key players in industries such as metal & mining, utility, oil & gas, consumer electronics, medical, food & beverage, chemical, and other discrete industries. The major demand for safety switches is from the oil & gas and food & beverage industries. Oil & gas drilling and servicing activities are undertaken in hazardous environments, which, in turn, mandate the installation of safety systems for such activities. The growing automation in food & beverage industry to satisfy changing demands also contributes to the growth of safety switch market.
Key market players such as General Electric (US), Schneider Electric (France), Rockwell (US), Siemens (Germany), ABB (Switzerland), Eaton (Republic of Ireland), Honeywell (US), Omron (Japan), Pilz (Germany), SICK (Germany), Banner Engineering (US), BERNSTEIN (Germany), Emerson (US), EUCHNER (Germany), Fortress Interlocks (UK), IDEC (Japan), IDEM (UK), Pepperl+Fuchs (Germany), Schmersal (Germany), and Stahl (Germany) focus on strategies such as product launches and developments, agreements, mergers & acquisitions, partnerships, and collaborations to enhance their product offerings and expand their business.
